    This is a bad take. Without smartphones we had KKK and other reactionary groups. People were always able to organize around reactionary causes.

      People were always able to organize around reactionary causes.

      Yours is a bad take because it ignores the speed, efficiency, and ease of organizing, sometimes world-wide, that modern technology grants to such groups.

      Claiming it was always absolutely 100% the same ever and ever, regardless of material conditions, is a thought terminating cliche.

        The point is that those people would not be hermits isolated from the society. They’d be organizing in their local chapters of KKK or NSDAP. Laura Loomer is not your average frothing chud who got radicalized.
